My parents wont let me have a new phone for christmas. I got one about 7 months ago but it's not very good and I really want a new one. I tried negotiating with them and asking if I could have it as a joint present from them and my grandparents but they said no. I can't afford to save up for it myself and I'm only 13 so I can't work for the cash. My parents wont let me babysit. How can I persuade them to let me have the phone? Or, how can I raise the money to get it myself? (link)
Im 14 & I got my phone at 13 too. I pursuaded my dad to get me mine by proving to him that i'm responsible n that I'd do whatever it took to get my phone. But the thing is with me I pay my phone bill on my own, my parents don't pay it for me and thats one of the reasons my dad even got me the phone so I dont know.


Why is it that everytime i want to really express myself to my boyfreind he acts like he really dosent care what i think and then when i asked him how does he feel about me he said what does that have to do with anything thats going on and it has a lot to do with it. HE is the type to hurt your feelings . now he said all this stuff when he was MAD. When he is mad i do not like him. he was mad because he said i hung up the phone in his face when i didnt. so i told him what happen and he still acted the same. I cant leave him because im 15 in love and he is the best thing that ever happen to me in a long time. HE actually came and turned my life around and i dont think i can do it without him. I am a Black FEmale (link)
Just tell him how you feel. If he says it dont matter tell him accetuly it does and explain everything, if he still doesnt listen, that means he doesn't really love you. If he doesn't listen to what you have to say then you can probably find someone that is willing to listen to you.


Any tall girls out there? im 5 8 and 13 yrs old. How do u guys deal wit it wit like [guys,tryin to let people c u w/o ur height]. Please jsut tell me some stuff so i can live my life w/o hatin my height.
1*4*3 x0x (link)
Okay im 14 and im 5 9 I am taller than alot of people in my school and I use to think it was annoying when I was like 12 but now I love it. I play basketball and its a huge huge advantage being so tall. Also all my friends are guys and I dont really think they mind accetuly we haven't brought it up because were always having a good time and we never even think about it. Its just one of those subjects that thats that you know what I mean? Don't worry your gonna love being tall!


I have a really good friend (thats a guy) and well we have gone out a couple times. And i like him again and he told one of my friends he kinda likes me. i wanna just grab him and kiss him one day but im scared he'll push me away. what should i do.


*female 15* (link)
Well don't just grab him and kiss him, but tell him how you feel for sure! You never get anywhere if you dont speak whats on your mind or what your feeling. Tell him that, and if he really likes you or likes you, you should be good! hope I helped

My parents payed for me and my brother to go to a private school. It was really expensive but thank god we got insurance so some of the money will come back to us if we deside not to go. Well my brother and i ended up going to public school where it's free, the thing is that the private school won't let us get the money back unless we go there for 15 school days. I have been arguing with my parents saying that i just started to make friends at the public school, and things are really going my way. Going to the private school for 15 days will make it really hard to go back to the public school. I really dont know what to do cause it's a lot of money we will get back, yet i am really startin to fit in at the public school.

since this is long I will rate high!!!!!!!!!! (link)
I think you should go to the private school for 15 days. Just tell your friends at the public school what happened n tell them its like a 15 day vacation. If they are really your friends they will completely understand, and will accept you just like they do now.

Its a heart


i jest found out that my boyfriend was cheating on me with my bff should i not be her friend or dump him or do both. (link)
Dump them both... If she was really your BFF she would have never been sneaking with your boyfriend behind your back. Dump him because hes just a dog. They don't deserve you. They were obviously thinking about themselves and not even considering you. So in my opinion leave 'em both.

Amanda

PLEASE HELP ME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE BECAUSE THIS WHOLE THING IS HAPPENING TONITE! I'LL RATE YOU A 5! thanks!

Chelsea...I think you should call your friend before you go and let her know how you feel, and if shes being mean about it to u on the phone like you think she doesnt really care while your talking to her on the phone then just tell her your not gonna go with her, and still go out, but with someone else. You know what I mean? Like you can call a different friend and go out with them, even if its not bowling, you can go to the movies or just hang out somewhere, or do something you guys both enjoy, but call Jerra first and explain everything to her. Hope I helped.

ok so there's this guy who is a friend of my family and he comes to all our parties and holidays and stuff. last year he came on vacation with us and we hit it off and became really great friends. we started dating on valentines day and he was always so sweet and affectionate and caring. we talked online every day for hours and everytime i came home from school on weekends we hung out. it was hard for us since i was away at college but he always said things would be so much better when i graduated (in may). then all of a sudden he started acting distant and we stopped talking as much. he has a really stressful job so i believed him when he said he was just really busy. but now that i'm home he like NEVER talks to me and i dont understand what happened! but when i see him he acts like normal again and every once in a while he'll call me or something. its so weird. if it was any other guy i'd be like forget him...but i know we'll be seeing each other at family stuff anyway and i dont understand why he would want to throw away our friendship and everything! does anyone have any insight as to what i should do or what this means? should i tell him he's hurting me or just wait till he comes around again? (link)
Just ask him whats going on with your relationship, and why all of a sudden things have changed. Mabye its because hes scared of commitment or something, im not to sure, but the best thing for you is to talk to him and figure out what is going on and what hes feeling. Hope I helped

okay me and my ex bf broke up about 8 months ago. we were going out for a year, there was a huggeee fall out between the 2 of us and we supposedly "cant stand eachother". atleast thats what i say to make it not look like i still have feeligns for him. whenever i see him he doesnt really talk to him, etc , but when im not around and whenever he sees one of my friends, he ALWAYS asks about me, like how i am and if i have a bf, etc. what do u think hes feeling? do u think he still has feelings for me? (link)
Yes, he does still have feelings for you, and try not being so mean to him when you see him just be casual like hi how are you, not the I dont want to talk to you ever again thing.


How often a day should you brush your teeth? (link)
3-4 times a day


i'm 17 and never kissed anyone, how pathetic is that? the thing is, it's not like i'm ugly or anything because i know many people who have liked me or would've kissed me, but i don't want to make things weird between my guy friends by doing anything with them and the other guys who have liked me are not exactly top rate...another thing is that i never even tell people who i like cuz i don't want to be embarrassed...i don't know what i'm waiting for - someone who i feel comfortable with?? the perfect person who doesn't exist? i'm not the kind of person who would do things just to make myself appear cooler but as i get older it just gets more embarrassing to say i've never kissed anyone (link)
I wouldn't be embarrassed if I were you. Just because you haven't kissed anyone that doesn't mean theres anything wrong with you, it shows that your waiting for the right person to come along, and that your not going to kiss someone just to say ohh I kissed someone. Your respecting what you believe in and thats a good thing. And dont be embarrassed to tell people who you like because if you dont how do you know that the person doesn't like you?

i am 14 years old and my knees are always killing me when i do anything. i went to the doctor and he said that i was probley just goin through a gorwth spurt and my knees were just catching up or sumthing like that. but the doctor told me that in the winter...and now its summer and my knees still hurt...what do i do?

o ps my doctor said the ligaments were stressed...what does that mean?? (link)
Go to your doctor again. And if he tells you its still a growth spurt tell him its not because the pain hasn't gone away and you can hardly do anything because of your knees. He should examine them a little better and find out what the problem really is. And when he said the ligaments are probably stressed it mean that ur bones in or by ur knees or w/e are probably like your overworking them.

hi. i've been with my b/f for about 5 mo. and i'm 14 and he's 16. i REALLY want to have a baby! i don't know why i just ReAlLy do! but also my cuz whos 20 's g/f just had a baby and she was 17(now 18) and they really struggle with financial problems. then his bro was dating a woman last year and just 2 weeks ago found out he was a dad. i really want to have a baby! what should i do? (link)
Your only 14 the same age as me, I wouldnt recomend having a baby because what are you going to do when you go to school what if no one can stay by the baby, and how do you know if your boyfriend wants to have a baby, you have to consider everything before even TRYING to have a baby. And you and your boyfriend have only been going out for 5 months, you should wait until you at least graduate from high school and your boyfriend will be more ready if you guys are still together...I hope you guys are then you will know if you guys are ready to have a baby.

hey i was just wondering do guys prefer straight hair or do they like curly/wavy hair? also which one do u think is "in".

thxxxxxx (link)
Theres not one thats really "in" everyone looks good in different hair styles. Just do your hair the way you think looks good on you, and don't worry about what anyone else says about it.

ok , im 14 yrs. old and i have NEVER had a boyfriend in my life . i have never even kisses a guy before . is that strange ? i know alll my friends have had many b/f's . but i havent . i lie to them telling them i have . i cant say i havent cuz then they would talk shit about me . can anyone please answer my question!!?? (link)
No its not strange at all. Im 14 and I have never had a boyfriend or kissed a guy, and to tell you the truth, I don't really mind it. All my friends have had boyfriends and kissed them and everything and they all know I haven't had a boyfriend or kissed a guy and they don't say anything to me they don't even care. So if your friends were true friends they won't make fun of you or stop talking to you just because you haven't had a boyfriend. Hope I helped!

ok so i have a bf and one of our friends is having this party. he will be there and so will some of my friends that have never met him be4. i really dont want them to meet him becuz:
1) if they think hes hot theyll b all over him
2) if they think hes ugly later they wont shut up
3) either way they will be really annoying and say stuff to him that i wouldnt want them to
i already talked to them they dont care they said i need to calm down etc. (link)
Just tell your boyfriend about how your friends are going to be acting. But tell him that if they think hes ugly its not gonna matter to you or if they think hes cute its not going to matter to you because your the one going out with him and your the one that really knows him. He should understand and after you say that, he should ingore your friends like he should talk to them but not take anything they say seriously. And if they are hanging all over him he should remember what you guys talked about and he should leave and go to different part of the party.


okay i have this neighbor ill call him bob n his best friend who ill call fred last year bob n i had this thing but now its over -or at least it is with him i know how i feel i know it sounds really immature but i love him. well anyway fred has asked me out and i dont know what to tell him . hes really sweet nice n kinda cute but im in lovw with his beast friend. what can i do (link)
Just tell Fred the truth. Tell him you don't want to go out with him because you still have feelings for his best friend BOB. Tell him that he is really sweet nice and cute but you just can't see yourself going out with him because of the fact that you are still inlove with Bob.
Hope I helped Good Luck

My cousin and I are really good friends, but since this new girl came into our neighborhood they've been ignoring me. So when ever she says let's get Marrisa I say I don't want to. I sorta like her but not that much. My brother told her I didn't like her. Now they've been ignoring me more than ever. Please I need advice what to do. (link)
Well first of all tell your cousin how you feel about the new girl, and that your brother wasn't completely honest. And then also tell the new girl that moved into your new neighborhood that your brother wasnt telling the truth, and tell her that you feel like she is taking your cousin which is ur really good friend away from you. She should understand, and tell her that you dont hate her (if you dont) its just that your jealous/sad that you don't get to spend as much time with your cousin as you use to and that you just miss her.
*Amanda* Anytime you need any advice ill be glad to help...I hope my advice will help you with this situation as well :)
